Clients must work directly with Moving Venue for all catering requirements.
What audio-visual equipment is included and what needs to be hired externally?

How does the guest journey work through the different spaces?
Guests enter through the iconic Bronze Tower Doors into the Grade II listed cloakroom, then ascend the marble staircase to The Vestibules for drinks receptions. The Vestibules can be divided into three areas using decorative doors, and guests then move into The Grand Temple for main events, creating a dramatic 'wow factor' entrance moment.
What are the booking and payment procedures for securing an event date?
The venue requires confirmation of guest numbers, budget flexibility, catering requirements, and specific event timings before providing detailed proposals. Site visits are highly recommended and can be arranged through the sales team. Specific payment terms and booking procedures are handled case-by-case based on event requirements.
